Colorado Parks and Wildlife issues the ranch a limited number of landowner vouchers each year in July. These vouchers allow a hunter to buy a deer license over the counter without drawing (hunter still has to pay normal license fee). Please call Dick Miller at (303) 426-0360 email us at hunting@escalanteranch.com for pricing & availability.
There is no additional charge to hunt bear during any trip booked with the Escalante Ranch.
